A new system called “BioBrowser” from a German Research Foundation project at Fraunhofer Austria in Gras aims to allow researchers to interactively analyze and manipulate the molecular stucture of massive proteins containing 50,000 and more atoms.
Based on research data of molecular biologists, the software automatically calculates and displays 3D models of complex proteins – at the push of a button, in high quality, and interactively. Researchers can turn the molecule and look at it from every angle, enlarge it at will and select specific areas; the image is always razor sharp and users can switch between the most important variants.
